The Story

Two brothers — Chad and Jared Moldenhauer — spent seven years and their life savings making Cuphead by hand-drawing every frame in the style of 1930s Fleischer Studios animation. The result is the most visually distinct game released in the last decade. It is also extremely hard. The hand-drawn bosses are enormous, aggressive, and meticulously animated. The difficulty is the point — you are playing an art film that hits back.
